Hand embroidered Jat cushion cover made of Hand woven Silk , size 40 X 40 cm. Jat embroidery is predominantly cross stitch with heavy use of small mirrors. Jat embroidery is tiny bars of tight, padded satin stitch with radiating circles of a couched stitch. Designs for Jat embroidery are geometric, not representational and must be done on loose weave fabrics. The design cannot be predawn and the decisions regarding the geometry has to make of each piece before starting it. Traditionally, all of the fabric given is covered and the base fabric cannot be seen at all. Consequently, this is the most labor intensive and expensive form of embroidery. Hence this embroidery lasts for years, even the material of cushion cover gets destroyed.
